Important Notes on Handling and Use

Printer

  • This machine is a precision device.
    • Never subject the machine to impacts or excessive force.
    • Never needlessly put your hand or fingers inside the cover, the ink-pouch ports, or other internal areas of the machine.
    • There is an area for small article storage on the front of the machine. Do not place in this area any items to which cleaning liquid or ink has affixed. Doing so may damage the area for small article storage.
  • Install in a suitable location.

    • Install the machine in a location having the specified temperature and humidity.

    • Install the machine in a quiet, stable location offering good operating conditions.

  • The print heads are delicate.

    • Never needlessly touch or allow media to scrape them.

    • The print heads may be damaged if allowed to dry out. The machine prevents desiccation automatically, but improper operation may render this feature inoperative. Operate the machine properly, as specified in this manual.

    • Never leave the machine with an ink pouch removed. Remaining ink in the printer may harden and clog the print heads.

    • The print heads require various types of cleaning depending on the situation. Read this manual thoroughly and perform the appropriate maintenance at the appropriate times.

    • The print heads are components that wear out. Periodic replacement is required, with the frequency of replacement depending on use.

  • This machine becomes hot.

    • Never cover the ventilation holes with cloth, tape, or anything else.

Ink Pouches

  • Ink pouches come in various types.

    • Use a type that is compatible with the printer.

  • Never subject to impact or attempt to disassemble.

    • Never drop the ink cartridges or shake them forcefully. The impact may rupture the internal pouch and cause the ink to leak.

    • Never attempt to disassemble the ink pouches.

    • Never attempt to refill the ink.

    • If ink gets on your hands or clothing, wash it off as soon as possible. Removal may become difficult if you leave such adhered ink untreated.

  • Storage

    • Store ink pouches unopened in a well-ventilated location at a temperature of -5 to 40°C (-23 to 104°F). However, do not store the ink pouches for a prolonged period of time in low- or high-temperature environments.
